Hi Sean, Bill, If you would like Sean, a simple write-up for PPC would be appreciated. I can add it to JTSDK sources for *Nix so others can benefit from it. A simple text file would suffice.
As for the QTimer issue, if either you or Bill can send me the details, I'll create a bug for Lubuntu and / or the MOTU group, as Lubuntu is moving their desktop from LXDE to QT. This would certainly be beneficial to their teams to know a QTimer problem exists for PPC. 73's Greg, KI7MT On 11/18/2015 10:36 AM, Bill Somerville wrote: > Hi Sean, > > well done!
